What’s your contractor horror story?

First, let’s acknowledge that there are many honest, hardworking contractors out there who are highly skilled at what they do. Thank you.

But we also must acknowledge reality: There are people who have, through negligence, incompetence, or outright fraud, drained the bank accounts of hard-working homeowners who were just trying to get a room addition built, or a roof repaired. When asked by customers to rectify their bad behavior, these clowns respond with refusals, denials, or sometimes they just disappear.
